Twilight Again!

Birds are returning to their nests. Parrots mostly. Eleventh Moon is shining in Taurus just above my head. Sounds of prayers from nearby temples and mosques.

The granary has expanded a bit. Not as much as needed yet. I picked up the scrapped grass and threw it away. A trolley full of pigeon pea is resting before me to be unloaded here.

The conversation with Nadine was uplifting yesterday. Semantics, delusion and further delusions: then their shattering one by one has been the story of my Odyssey here on WordPress. While the poet of highest order disappeared and wouldn’t resurface no matter what: another fish in the cave seems to want to swim to that side of shore. And yet another won’t change her profile picture even after four years. Or has it been lesser. They create black holes. Then bit of scaling. Then return to black holes.

If this Faatima was that Faatima: she won’t believe that one morning in 2016 i hardly had anything else but her words to hang onto. Some scarecrow images. And her words as unicorn images of a safe haven which leads me where?

Here! This is the culmination of all my searches. All my seeking and journey. Nectar of immortality. Don’t tell them they would banish us. Then there is three of us…four of us… countless trillions of us…how lovely to be nobody…

How fluid to watch the dance and play the game.

An Acrobat!

The Acrobat!

1. An Acrobat of a nightingale. It doesn’t know I am writing about it. It was frolicking and it has hardly moved in the last hour. I moved 31 times to put scrapped grass onto a heap.

2. A cow was buried at this very place in 2018. Now it’s being used as a place to put grains. Not exactly a granary as it’s an open space.

3. Some birds are picking grains. Mustard plants are resplendent exquisite scenery as Sun shines. It’s a Sunday.

Mustard

4. The collection and burning of garbage took half an hour. It has been 1.5 hours of work here. I need to take some rest before I resume.

Another Dark Night Ends!

1. Took me 54 minutes to register 20 books.

2. Couldn’t bypass conversation of Nachiketa with Yama. The lure of Brahmavidya. I read about it in a book when I was six years old. The word Moksha means liberation. I later developed a vocabulary with at least 40 words for the concept of enlightenment or awakening. Did a guest post on James Harbeck’s blog on the same. The book “Tales From Upanishads,” has been written by Shri Shankar Dattatreya Dev and translated by Shrimati Shakuntala Pathak.

3. Came across Belgian author Matter link’s play Shab-e-taar or Dark Night. The book has been translated by Premchand. The standard preface in Urdu has been rendered beautifully with glossary of terms in the footnote. I clearly recall getting this book issued in the last iteration of registration. I enjoyed it a bit. Premchand was master of Hindu as well as Urdu prose.

4. Another dark night ends. It’s the truth realm. I know the way in and out of it. I had a brief discussion with the librarian as we sat outside his naturopathy clinic. It’s the dawn of the gods as per the Hindu calender.

Bundelkhand Marathon 2021 Fit India Event Concludes!

1. The race began by 7:00 AM. They had called us to stadium by 5:00 AM.

2. They had announced the start time as 6:00 AM.

3. I reached to a red chair under Ashok tree in Gandhi Smarak Bhavan after my lunch in Deendayal Rasoi.

4. It was day 21 in Deendayal Rasoi.

5. I told marathon details to some people who asked me questions because I was wearing T-shirt and bib given by the organizers.

6. It took me 200 minutes to cover 30 kilometres. It took me about five more to reach highway, where I got into a taxi.

7. My measurements were not wrong. The board on Jhan Jhan Devi said it was a six kilometres distance. I measured my time. It was 21 minutes. Double of that is 42 minutes for 12 kilometers. Then: triple of that is 126 minutes for 36 kilometres. Which means 30 kilometres should take about (126-21=105 minutes)

8. The measurement in point number 7 are accurate. I took couple of pissing breaks. Kept walking as fast as I walked that day and ran as well. The first lap of jogging was about 23 minutes followed by shorter laps of jogging and longer laps of walking.

10. The winner Anees Thapa works in Indian army in Hyderabad. He completed race in 1H30M53S

11. Out of 1034 participants 400 completed the race.

12. Despite my being very slow in finishing the race: it was a joy. Runner’s high is a recognised phenomenon. I had not walked or ran so long at a stretch ever before. I would like to thank organizers, participants and everyone else for this program which promotes fitness.

What are the odds?

1. Took 40 minutes to turn Shivansh compost. Three of us. The third one joined very late. I did 51 taslas(plastic pans.)

2. As i was waiting under the shade of eight petalled lotus he shared half of an apple. As we began working the slipper’s stripe which is used as grip by thumb and middle toe snapped. What are the odds. It was good because if it had happened during the marathon i would have ran barefoot.

3. Had no idea that registration process was going to be this complicated. Had to stay in multiple queues for 3 hours 20 minutes.

4. If you ask me: it’s not very encouraging for participation in years to come. If such an event happens: i would prefer not participating in it. They should have given a clear outline of complicated registration process on their website. They kept changing timings.

5. It was a huge event(biggest after Dussehra in which i participated but not as enjoyable) with hundreds of people appearing for registration. Maybe a few thousand. The question is: how do they organize the runners on track. Some of them would be given lead as so many people can’t stand together on track. Played many vocabulary jams. PC had a doppleganger today. Received a score of 820 in one of the jams despite two incorrect answers. Which seemed odd as it usually doesn’t happen.

6. I need to wakeup early and then, finally, run. Got a call from the person whose footwears i would use for the run as soon as i came out of the stadium. What are the odds?

7. Asked for another handkerchief this morning got a yellow one. Like the Tshirt given by the organizers. Yellow. What are the odds? Like the color painted on Deendayal Rasoi building.
